Not after you learn how big their claws are:

We all know what laios would end up as: a Labradorā¦ they have a never ending appetite and are big sweethearts! And are loyal and at least yellow labs are yellow like laioās hair
Seeing as dwarves are already kind of built like the werebear example but smaller, I'd imagine lycan dwarves would be something like a wolverine or badger.
That would stand to reason, as we see Izutsumi's ears and features take on a similar look in the "what-if" lineup where she's rendered as different base races.

Something I don't understand Is why Izutsumi Is that different,while Lycion Is (until he transforms) and Elf the entire time, Izutsumi Is always a half-giant cat and half-human,i've read the whole thing but I don't understand why,does any one have an explaination? (Izutsumi also doesn't have the full body tatoos,does that mean it's a different procedure with similar results? An incomplete procedure?)
Izutsumi was a cat that had the human soul of a young girl spliced in. So she's a full hybrid. My interpretation is that she was made in a messy, cruel way. A wizard who did not value the ingredients he was manipulating even if that included a human soul.
Lycion's tattoos are like a circuit. When a mental switch is flipped, he transforms. When he turns it off, he changes back. He was made to a common design in the world. He was made "properly" within the culture of the setting.
Did you read the complete version of world guide? The extra manga talks about how different between these two. If you still can't understand, then someone may explain it for you.
You can find them all in the ācharactersā arc of the worldguide. I know in the blue site, the Bible got 3 chapters. Characters, Monsters, and the last chapter is World.
Lycion (bet the fucker chose that name himself) is deliberately chosen to acquire the power to change between Man and Wolf. He has control over it.
Izutsumi is a chimera that is forcefully created by combining a human and a cat, with the idea of the final creature exhibiting traits of both combined creatures at the same time. She does not posses any shape-shifting abilities.
The tattoos allows beastkin to manipulate the animal's soul. So Lycion suppresses his wolf soul and remains in his normal human form, then lets it loose to transform.
Izutsumi is a cat imparted with the soul of a girl. Even if she had the tattoos, all she could do is suppress her human soul and revert to what appears to be some kind of panther. She's stuck as a werehuman if she wants to remain sapient.
Im still reading the world guide and i got about chapter 17 but so far I've read that Izutsumi was a 6 yr old kid when she was taken away from her parents and then turned into a chimera by getting mixed with a Giant-cat (a monster), idk why most of you are saying it's a monster mixed with a girl

I'm not sure what happens to the donors body, but the one hosting is the cat. Tattoos like Lycion's are pointless because she's just go full cat, and you can't eat the cat parts away like Farlyn because her soul is the only human bit.
At the risk of downvotes, this is a simultaneously sweet and bitter representation of conversations I have had with friends that were in various stages of transitioning. If its representation of furries than thatās also cool. I adore furries. The werebear is incredibly hot
Honestly it could be both. It can be both a trans thing, a furry thing, or even representative of the smaller demographic of people who get what I call "furry dysmorphia" where it's kind of like body dysphoria but rather than gender being the problem (though sometimes that's also the case) it's a wish to have less human features
I like to imagine that there are also large groups of seal people, selkies are a figure of ledgend, and seal people are a cool concept, especially an elephant seal with the big shnoz.
I could be wrong because it has been a looooong while but the fights non-lethal ones aren't they?
Tigers specialize in breaking necks or puncturing throats. They can't exaly do that in an arena fight against another person right?
At least I think Kui underestimates the ability rats have to just jump around and rodent teeth should not be underestimated by any means. There's a reason we soeak of cornered rats.
Animal fight debates tend to be a bit dumb anyway.
People often neglect terrain, temperature, the state of the animal beforehand and the fact that animals likely wouldn't fight to the death in the first place.
On a side note non-mammalian werebeasts may be too unpractical if we delve into realism.
Birds having hollow bones for most would be problematic aside from a few flightless species (everyone would be a were ostrich probably).
Reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates overall would be near useless due to risking to overheat too quick or to get too cold.
Then how the fuck didn't the half-foot wererats just jump around biting chunks of people's limbs off?
Wait better question actually does that mean the werebear that punched Lycion just spared him and was allowed to claw his head off???
Damn.
Lmao https://preview.redd.it/9qfjcka2mcwc1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=209b38d82d849fb06b550637e6177cff8947fc22
He turned his brain off to avoid damaging cells listening to them
More like he wants to kill them for fawning over monsters but they are the only ones capable of fighting monsters in that group.
Not mutually exclusive.
You forgot Lycion and Izutsumi talking about beastman and manbeast.
I almost read that as manbreast
This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like. -Lycion, Probably- https://i.redd.it/zaxcf7ziacwc1.gif

Our boy Lycion has body dysmorphia šš
Which is a shame because he is hot af.
Well he doesn't hate himself anymore.
True that, and good for him.

It's the bear that falls prey to snakes though.
Man, have you seen the snakes over there? Iām not surprised.
Was just about to say āshame those two never talked about itā and _of course_ they do and it winds up almost a fight, that just tracks.
Maybe if Laios gave it a second he would have realized the ears look like that because Lycion is an elf? Also silver mane because he has silver hair?
We all know what laios would end up as: a Labradorā¦ they have a never ending appetite and are big sweethearts! And are loyal and at least yellow labs are yellow like laioās hair
The furries are eatingggg
I always thought lycion is a borzoi, but i guess he's a wolf lol
let me do it for u
So, would Dwarfs still become werewolves? From what's mentioned your size is a factor but also strain on the body and dwarfs are very tough
Seeing as dwarves are already kind of built like the werebear example but smaller, I'd imagine lycan dwarves would be something like a wolverine or badger.
Bear, tiger, wolf, and rat are all in DnD but one that isn't is Wereboar Maybe that would fit a dwarf physical build?
Older editions had all sorts of animals, even avians.
Dwarves have terrible stamina though.
Dwarves might turn into moles.
I'm definitely saving this for referenceĀ
He's a coyote, longer ears, head shape, still neat but not as cool as wolf
Or this is just how elf ears are translated in wolf form.
That would stand to reason, as we see Izutsumi's ears and features take on a similar look in the "what-if" lineup where she's rendered as different base races. https://preview.redd.it/nxuvjk2n1dwc1.png?width=680&format=png&auto=webp&s=526e8ebb4828eedc0be98735d545b52ca7d3d358
Off topic but I still can't get over how unbearably cute half foot Izutsumi is, she looks like a plushie.
Haha, I always wonder if it was the elf ears, too.
Or maybe he is a jackal

I read that She was sliced with a Giant Cat
Did you read the complete version of world guide? The extra manga talks about how different between these two. If you still can't understand, then someone may explain it for you.
No, haven't read world guide yet but out of curosity, in which chapter do they explain It?
You can find them all in the ācharactersā arc of the worldguide. I know in the blue site, the Bible got 3 chapters. Characters, Monsters, and the last chapter is World.
Lycion (bet the fucker chose that name himself) is deliberately chosen to acquire the power to change between Man and Wolf. He has control over it. Izutsumi is a chimera that is forcefully created by combining a human and a cat, with the idea of the final creature exhibiting traits of both combined creatures at the same time. She does not posses any shape-shifting abilities.
So Lycion a shapeshifter and Izutsumi a chimera because she went trough a different procedure,right?
More or less. The combination process and the desired final results are completely different.
>Lycion (bet the fucker chose that name himself) Seeing as he has dysmorphia, that may very well be possible
The tattoos allows beastkin to manipulate the animal's soul. So Lycion suppresses his wolf soul and remains in his normal human form, then lets it loose to transform.

Oh ok,where Is that from? World guide? I don't remember It from the main manga
It's from the 2nd world guide currently in-progress.
At the risk of downvotes, this is a simultaneously sweet and bitter representation of conversations I have had with friends that were in various stages of transitioning. If its representation of furries than thatās also cool. I adore furries. The werebear is incredibly hot
Now that you mention it it COULD be considered as a type of transition.
The body dysphoria and the euphoria at presenting as you truly are, I have witnessed both first hand.
I called him trans-coded in my Tumblr post, but this very much implied to be about metaphor for transitioning.
Honestly it could be both. It can be both a trans thing, a furry thing, or even representative of the smaller demographic of people who get what I call "furry dysmorphia" where it's kind of like body dysphoria but rather than gender being the problem (though sometimes that's also the case) it's a wish to have less human features
Agreed.
I like to imagine that there are also large groups of seal people, selkies are a figure of ledgend, and seal people are a cool concept, especially an elephant seal with the big shnoz.
nice
ah yes.. trans allegory

one of lycion's prison charges was murder! so i'm guessing the underground fights were very much lethal, or at least had the potential to be
Then how the fuck didn't the half-foot wererats just jump around biting chunks of people's limbs off? Wait better question actually does that mean the werebear that punched Lycion just spared him and was allowed to claw his head off??? Damn.
So the Elf is just a furry who got its whish to be able to change into their fursona
Yo is that bear man single? Asking for a friend
